You got the black flag confused. The guy doing the overtake was nearly put into the wall. He was calling for the other guy to be black flagged. Removed from the race.
and to clarify, the driver on the left was forcing the overtaker into the wall. he was given a 10 second pitstop for it. but i understand the drivers response, totally unecessary move.
Very odd how even the posters here don't realise this
@@MrJambot alot of people dont watch or stay tuned with f1 its a niche thing some people like f1 some like nascar some wrc etc etc its all down to preference and if its not something you watch alot youre not going to know the rules and regulations and why certain things happen/are said
@@s4ss1n Yes and Schumacher was the offender, the guy doing the "squeezing"
@@spikeswallow4010 It's not rocket science though: You see a guy squeezed into what could very well be a lethal crash. That guy won't be politely asking for the most lenient penalty possible.

they said rain, not a fucking thunderstorm
didnt wanna have to be that guy but i get what you're playing at, that "race" was terrible
Haha true but to be fair to F1 that's the only time that's happened and it legit was not ok to drive in.
Imola 2021: Hold my beer
You have to be a hardcore F1 fan to really appreciate a move on the outside of Eau Rouge. Better yet, you have to walk Eau Rouge and Raidillon to truly understand the amount of balls one must have to get an overtake done there. It is jaw dropping. Props to you guys for widening your horizons. Motorsport is motorsport!
300 kph up that hill , amazing Webber on the outside on Alonso was staggering
That onboard video of the elevation change is absolutely insane
Basically a pass at that spot simply didn't happen. EVER.
what about inside of EA rouge - gasly on perez in 2020!
Gas on pez was even better.
When you said that F1 drivers are on another level you couldn’t have been more accurate, tests have shown that they have a quicker reaction time than a fighter pilot, in fact they don’t use green lights to start the race anymore because the drivers were reacting to the red lights going out and were off before the green ones came on. This has also given us David Croft’s line at the start of every race “ And it’s lights out and away we go”.
(Which he took from another commentator)
@@andrewcharlton4053 Murray walker
oh cut the crap talking like they are some kind of superhuman individuals
There is no green light
@@bastienhubert283 he literally said that
F1 is so good, the technology is way above anything you can think - safety is paramount and the speeds are in excess of 180mph - you should (if you can find it) F1 crashes it will amaze you as in 99.9% the drive gets up and walks away .
top speed on a modern f1 card is about 230mph and a lot of their grip is from the aerodynamics, pre the introduction of the wing it was all mechanical grip form the tyres now its hugely biased towards the aero an F1 puts out more downforce than it weighs it's said they could drive upside down in a tunnel once they reach speed although no ones tried it :P Mark Webber round the outside of Alonso at Eau Rouge is one of my favourites bearing in minds tis flat out through that corner. The open wheels aren't the reason for the grip but a lot of the aero deals with airflow over and around the wheels
180? Try 40mph more
I did mean avg speed
It's not about the top speed. It's about the lap times. An accurate comparison between F1 and Indycar, for instance, became possible when both tested at the Circuit of the Americas a few years ago. Indycars had a higher top speed, but they were more than 5 seconds slower per lap than their F1 counterparts. That really is amazing.
@@UTRG-UnderTheRain f1 Cars pull about 5G of downforce. They can easily Drive upside down. The reason noone tried is the function of the fuel pumps (or Zylinders?) They don't work upside down. So the would fall of because of no fuel reaching the engine.
I have in the Back of my head that they did a corkscrew looping though.
Always remember raikkonen, will be missed as he retiring from f1 this year. One hell of a driver
Dont forget his Team-Radio moments we will miss in the next years.
@@LLUstgBtl272 yea true, they were funny af
Lets vote driver of the day for him on his last race
Raikonnen, Schumacher, Häkkinen, Hill and a lot more
Had such a great attitude to the media. Just didn't care about them. My fav moment was when bundle asked him why he disappears as soon as he puts the car on the grid and kimi replys I go for a shit.
Non F1 fans watching this must be thinking "Damn that Alonso guy must be one of the greats"...... And they'd be right
Not really, he is at the sideline of the greats.
he is kinda an f1 "mascot" for non f1 fans
@@murderboytje he rlly good at defending tho
But his overtaking tactic doesnt work in this era
@@Nothing.... did you see last week or so , though the merc engine helps a lot
also is a racist who got dominated by his rookie team mate......🇬🇧🇬🇧
Note: At 4:26 Verstappen was 18 when he pulled that off
It's crazy that he went out wide like that for the overtake. It looks like he just made some grip out of thin air.
Against a world champion too.
@@gangulyraj6889 he wasn’t world champion yet at this point in the season.

hell yes from his first race and that one i new hamalten s career is over he is old news a good car ore the same teem max is number 1
simply lovely mate
@@davidmccarron4832 🤣🤣🤣🤣
F1's Nigel Mansell got labeled "Too aggressive " when he went racing in the US. Come on guys, that's racing !!!
Nigel Mansell did not know how to 'blink' when racing against anyone. Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Piquet etc... They were all scared of Nigel.
Totally boring in an interview, but totally electrifying behind the wheel.
as Senna once said about Mansel, he was the only drive who was cabable of appearing in both wing mirrors at the same time.
@@willrichardson1809 High praise indeed!
Nigel is still the only man to ever of held the F1 and Indycar titles at the same time.
The potential black flaq was not for the overtake, was for Shuey 'squeezing' Rubens Barichelo towards the wall on the right. Nice channel.
Gets my vote fella.
Spot on.
tbh I don't think so cause he left more then an cars width between him and the edge of the track which is allowed but once it is smaller then a cars width then ok there need to be something done about it but seen he left more then a cars width I think that is perfectly legal
@@dragonhunter2271 Yeah was just explaining what the flag was for, not claiming it was justified. Anyway he opened the steering and let his car drift slowly wider. It's fairly easy to see. Unless I've missed something.
@@dragonhunter2271 the matter was leaving less than a car within track margins (white line, back when it was enforced for safety; video is from 2009) and moving across abruptly.
Moving abruptly got Grosjen a call from driver's association for the Silverstone GP in 2020, as an overtaking car has to balance two quick weigh transfers for the attack and a third transfer to avoid a colision from a poor sudden defense move can cause loss of car control.
What makes that #1 so amazing is that corner is extremely notorious. It is a long up hill right sweeping corner with a turn to the left at the top which is invisible. Because of the downforce, they are flat on the accelerator through the entire corner. That overtake at #1 they were doing 315km/h.
The crazy thing is to leave the line there and still be fast. .... and survive. Wasn't always the case :(
@@TheAlja Still isn't always the case. The Hubert incident was only a couple years ago. The Norris crash, the Aitken crash, and the Formula W crash this year all could easily have been deadly.
The problem at Raidillon is that the barriers are angled in a way that deflects cars back into the active racing line after they crash. So you've got cars that have already had their crash structures disintegrated shot back into the path of cars taking a flat corner at nearly 300kph. Oh, and those cars are also taking the crest of the hill blind, and are at the moment where the negative G's are causing the least amount of downforce and giving the least amount of control.
you should do more f1 reactions. especially the crashes and near misses.
WRC rally would be great reactions. some of those crashs and near misses are insane
I think they did an F1 crash viseo one about 3 month ago or something. They've also done some different rallying as well . . .
The downforce on these cars is crazy. They stick to the track like glue when in dry conditions… Do more F1 vids. As an American, I love seeing other Americans watching and reacting to my favorite Motorsport.
Theoretically, they're able to run upside down on a roof
@@mikblues_146 I mean they produce so much more downforce than 800kg(cars weight)they would easily do that(go upside down, the main problem is fuel pumps I guess), if I’m not wrong they can get up to almost 2 tons of downforce. F1 is the pinnacle of car technology, their engines goes up to more than 60% efficiency
@@fluo9576 On paper, those cars would only need to go about 120mph to generate enough downforce to overcome gravity
4:45 or so the clip with them driving in the rain with all the mist from the other cars blinding them is cool.
However, if you want to see something even cooler look for the video of Kimi, not sure which track, driving with zero visibility through mist or smoke at 180-200 mph (or lower all I know is he was driving fast) without lifting his foot off the pedal.
Spa-Francorchamps 2002
Yeah it was on spa, he drove like that smoke like it was all clear, I think it was his engineer who told him there was nothing in the track so it was safe
@@mikblues_146 he saw the trail of oil on the ground of the other guy, so he knew that if he stayed to the left he would be fine. You can see it pretty good when you watch his on-board
Spa 2002 up through Eau Rouge and then down the Kemmel straight in the smoke
No one beats Ayrton Senna in the rain!
It's all to do with downforce. Speed is your friend in these cars.
As a recommendation, check out a compilation of Eau Rouge/Raidillon crashes at Spa-Francorchamps to really see how ballsy overtakes there are.
You my friend are correct. I was going to say this as well.
I don't think that they realised the speed the formel 1 cars have going through Eau Rouge
It is worth to mention, that Eau Rouge has only one racing line, other usually ends at walls.
@@kovaq995 RIP Anthoine Hubert
The safety in F1 is unreal, they walk away from massive accidents.
Most of the cars are designed and built in the UK, even Mercedes
A lot has changed in terms of safety from the senna days, RIP
@@willmartin4474 Second that, will never forget that day, as I was watching that live on BBC1. Senna is a legend.
@@nekite1 yep me too 👍
Especially here in Woking. The original McLaren garage is just around the corner from where I live. They now have a massive place just outside of Woking where they design and build the cars. That includes the McLaren sports cars.
@@marcuswardle3180 Motorsport Alley!
The two overtakes going into Eau Rouge at Spa are brilliant, for the very simple reason that it is one of the greatest corners on any track in the world. There have been some spectacular crashes there, it takes guts just to go flat out through there at 200mph, never mind to overtake.
There was a *horrible* / _spectacular_ crash at Raidillon a few weeks back with four sportscars at the 24h of Spa that put Jack Aitkin in hospital with a broken collarbone.
@@champagnerocker Not seen it yet, but the Sophia Floersch crash 2 years ago was horrific to watch.
Eau Rouge has been flat out for at least 10 years in f1 tho.
@@champagnerocker the Formula W crash from this year was horrific, too.
Really surprised hamilton vs rosberg bahrain 2014. Didn't make the list. One of best races in the V6 turbo era
For your sport section do check out Danny MacAskill street rider. Amazing videos, check out The Ridge, Way Back Home, Wee Day Out, Danny Day Care, Gymnasium, Black Slabs and best of a all Cascadia.
3 and 1 are both at Spa in Belgium, specifically the Eu Rouge and Radion complex which is regarded as one of (if not the) most challenging corners in F1. Any overtake through there is special due to the speed, relative narrowness and elevation change.
Sadly a promising young driver died there in a junior formula. Even this year McClaren driver Lando Norris had a huge crash there in the wet.
I'm 40 yo, Brazilian, big fan of Formula 1 but living in Australia for years. This the second F1 reaction video that Inwatcjed from you guys (first one was the Senna one) and I would like to say that your channel is really cool! Nice ractions and very genuine. Congrats guys! Keep with this work!
Longtime f1 fan here and I couldn’t be happier seeing your reactions to this. I hope you two become regular fans of the sport. Sorry I don’t know your names but the dude in the hat seems in genuine awe
Watching you guys watch a sport I love has made me appreciate it more. It’s great to see the reactions of people that are new to the sport.
If you want to check out an overtake, have a look at Mika Hakkinnen’s overtake of Michael Schumacher at Spa. It’s up there as one of the best in the sport.
The guy that was calling for the black flag was Rubens Barrichello. He was squeezed against the wall by Schumacher (his ex-teammate). Schumacher did get reprimanded but he wasn’t black flagged. The black flag means disqualification - return to the pits, your race is over (and probably some additional penalties added on top too).
You should watch a compilation of Schumacher’s greatest moments in an F1 car.
would have loved to see some old Schumacher overtakes. These ones were all from after his first retirement
Its so nice to see Americans appreciating F1. Respect to you guys for being open and willing to make mistakes and just having fun with it
Enjoyed this video. Glad you guys are checking out F1. I have full respect for Nascar and Indy but I'm primarily an F1 fan.
We need more F1 content! Super interesting to see a Nascar perspective on the sport!
Nascar and F1 are more than diffrent.
@@cuckoo4328 that's exactly OP's point.
Just watch Max Verstappen video's..
FIA has an 'action of the year' category since '14 at their Awards Gala. Verstappen won 4 of the 7..
Jesus, i felt a freking shiver down the spine on EACH one of this overtakes.
And i already watched them all live, at the time.
It's impossible to choose which one is the best, they are all master level.
We have some new F1 fans! I grew up watching nascar as a country boy from ky, but once I found F1 I was hooked and nothing else compares! Great video guys, and welcome to F1!
It's the sheer amount of downforce they have that keeps them stuck too the road they could in theory drive upside down in a tunnel for e.g they have so much downhole it's incredible
Also, ironically that downforce caused by the various wings etc. create a massive amount of "dirty air" behind them, making it super difficult to overtake. F1 constantly try and change rules, added DRS or allowed car shapes etc. to make overtaking easier
Downforce = drag so its always track specific...At Monza for instance cars run very little downforce.
@Nico de Boer but he's correct under the current formula. The more downforce you put on the car, the more drag you're subject to. So for power circuits like Monza they use minimal downforce setups, while at a downforce heavy circuit like Monaco they'll have rear wings the size of barn doors.
those cars break in 4 seconds from 200MPH to 0MPH.
those last two were on spa one of the famous F1 corners Eau rouge so hard not to lift there even for the best drivers.
I would see f1 races on tv and i would never pay attention to them till i became a fan earlier in the year. Kinda teared up seeing the older races since i feel like i missed out on a bunch of legends and engines like the v8 and v10. Glad this video popped up in my recommendations. Really made me happy seeing yall enjoy it, definitely going to sub!
4:27 imagine the guy who overtook the other faster mercedes, is a 18 year old kid ( who is now fighting for the title) , and the other one became a world champion that year.
Brazil 2016 verstappen cemented his name among f1 legends
Very very wholesome
As an avid F1 fan I love that you simply enjoy the racing
Please share what you'd like an F1 fan to watch!
Edit: A recommended video is the top 10 dramatic moments 2020 video from the F1 channel
Would actually LOVE to see y’all react to more Formula One
The overtakes in Eau Rouge-Radillion (#1 and #3) are very special, they are rare, a decade may pass between two. It is the most dangerous corner in F1 calendar and even a smallest tangles will cause a massive crash to happen. We lost a driver in F2 just few years ago there, and lots of serious accidents have happened in other series. There was a close one this year in F1 too. It takes special kind of balls to even consider doing what Webber and Kimi did, but the fact that the other car in both was Schumi, 7 times champion.. they knew he would not do anything stupid.
These guys are continuously on the ragged edge of what is possible in a car. The best drivers in some of the most advanced engineering today.
Watching them having close to poker faces for the eau rouge overtakes pains me

Lando Norris’ massive shunt in quali also was a huge eye opener as well. And that was with clear visibility.
But yeah, Spa 98. I think only 8 cars made it to the finish line.
@@Eonymia I never said it wasn’t the right choice not to race. I was just pointing out the fact that they said that F1 definitely know how to race in the rain.
But you will agree that for us in the safety of our couches Spa ‘98 was a thriller of a race
Appreciate you guys
I love watching people appreciate something new, most of the time when I talk to non f1 fans about f1 they think its just Crap and driving in circles and anyone can do it, but here you can really see these guys know what's good lol
Love the racing reaction videos you guys put out, sadly there isnt that much on CZcams.
I dont know if youd be interested in doing a movie reaction, but if you do Id like to suggest the movie "Rush" from 2013. Its a racing movie about the real life rivalry of Niki Lauda and James Hunt during the 1970s in Formula 1.
In case youd be interested, I dont want to spoil the plot too much but the movie truly showcases the insanity and dangers of Formula 1 back then.
Both drivers get about equal time on the screen and the movie paints a strong contrast between the hotheaded/ live life to the fullest/ brit James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and the meticulous/ socially cold austrian Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl). Nonetheless both are similar in one particular aspect, both have the ultimate will to win. The story shows both drivers following their own philosophies while chasing after the Formula 1 championship title.
The racing scenes in the movie look really good and the cars shown are all accurate to the time, same with the tracks. Speaking of the tracks, back then Formula 1 raced on the Nordschleife (north loop) of the Nürburgring in Germany. That was a technically very challenging, over 14 miles long asphalt/concrete track with 160 turns and the lovely nickname "Green Hell".
Driving around there for 14 laps in a V12 formula 1 car weighing in at a bit over 1300 lbs and putting out close to 500 hp must have been insane.
If I kept writing I think I would spoil too much, so if your interest was peaked Id really recommend you guys check it out.
Keep up the good content.
RedBull won four championships in a row from 2010-2014! Rooting for Red Bull and Max Verstappen to win this year!
Everytime I watch your videos, I'm amazed at how much Daniel looks like a good friend of mine. The two of you could just as well be twins.
Really enjoyed this reaction, got a new sub here 👌 can't wait to see you do more f1 videos
A black flag in f1 means a straight up disqualified, however shumi did get a penalty for that
because he was Shumi
Hey boys!
I really dig your vibe and energy.
If you want some questions answered about this type of racing I’d be happy to help. Been a race car driver all my life and was a F1 test driver as well as stock car racer in the US.

I'm a big F1 fan. I had no idea that Nascar has so much contact in overtaking! That sounds so cool! I always wondered how they made passes without windy tracks.

@@tootg8627 Interesting. Not being British, I can hardly relate. So how does this work? You loved Kimi in the early 2000s, and then you hated him in '07? And vice versa for Alonso?
@@simonbrunner3062 Nobody could hate Kimi or Fernando.2 of the very best regardless of who they drive for.We all appreciate what Ferrari is to F1,theres no hate.McLaren has been there since the 60's and the love for our team is hard earned.
A fun fact about modern F1 wet tires, they can move 22 and a half gallons of water a second while traveling at 186 mph, or 85 liters at 300 kph. Imagine having to navigate a track at triple digit speeds in a fragile car (that costs millions of dollars) while the guy you're trying to overtake sprays gallons of water in your face every second
6:42 something cool to know about that corner. hill is so sharp up that from the cockpit the driver does not see the corner entry and they have to turn in blind.
If F1 can make Nascar seem boring, then you need to watch MotoGP clips
I just shared MotoGP recoveries of the decade. I really hope they do that video.
"They've been doing this for a while, so Formula 1 knows how to do a race in the rain."
Once upon a time that may have been true. However, nobody who watched last month's Belgian Grand Prix would agree with that statement.
I actually disagree with you, theres a wet race and then theres an inability to drive safely, that race wasn’t safe, so weesht yer hole
That race should have been cancelled
It wouldn't have been possible to race with that amount of rain, especially at Spa. That's literally one of the fastest circuits in the world. They are at full throttle for like, 95% of the lap. In that weather, someone probably would have died because there would have been no grip or visibility. It was far too dangerous to even try racing, which is why they didn't.
#3 incredible for such an insane corner.
Formula 1 (F1) cars have changed a lot over the years, with technological and safety improvements being introduced every season, which are usually dictated by new rules being brought in, often to either to slow the cars down or to make racing fairer between the teams, who may have vastly different budgets available to them. In order to make the races more competitive and to encourage overtaking, DRS (Drag Reduction System) was introduced, which allows a driver to open his rear wing and reduce down-force to gain extra speed in a straight line. This is only allowed when the driver is within a second of the car in front. Safety in F1 has greatly improved over the last few decades, with serious injuries or deaths becoming quite rare - compared to racing back in the 1950s and 60s, when so many drivers were killed each year. What hasn't really changed is trying to achieve the best balance between straight-line speed and speed through the turns, which requires more down-force to maintain traction. Different tracks require different set ups. Some races, such as Monaco, are run on roads, while most are on purpose-built racing tracks, which tend to be much faster. Tyre-wear is another major issue, with all the teams having the same limited number of options which have to be used during the race. As fresh tyres improve traction and allow the cars to go through turns at faster speeds, the timing of pit stops is crucial, with each team trying to outwit the other in order to gain an advantage. The rules at the moment prohibit refuelling during the race - which was brought in to make the sport safer - meaning the cars start out heavier and get lighter as the race progresses. The time it takes to make the pit stop, as well as the loss of track position, has to be weighed against the overall loss of speed due to tyre wear. A black flag would mean disqualification from the race. A number of former F1 drivers have made the move to US racing, such as Mario Andretti, Pablo Montoya and Nigel Mansell, though I'm not sure any NASCAR drivers have made the transition to F1. There are several great documentaries on F1 and some of the now-legendary rivalries between the greatest drivers. There is a documentary (and movie) about the rivalry between James Hunt and Nikki Lauda, which is a must-watch, as is the classic documentary on Ayrton Senna. The current rivalry between Lewis Hamilton, who races for Mercedes, and Max Verstappen, who races for Red Bull, is really starting to heat up, with several incidents between them already this season. Anyway, cheers from the UK guys!
Watch lewis Hamilton's greatest races and his epic passes specially from his early career, he's the GOAT btw, this video seems a bit biased, also be aware there is more racism in f1 than there is in nascar, there are so many even better overtakes than these
Hamilton works out where his car will be and drives to that, and rather hopes that the other car will stick to its line, only this years silverstone one I thing hamilton drifted by mm and vestappen by a cm or so from the prediction causing the impact and spin.
I can't for the life of me understand how folks prefer nascar to F1. The engineering and driver skils is in another league.
Another good video guys.👍 More Formula 1 please, I recommend you top 10 pit lines dramas in F1.
To understand Raikönnen against Schuhmacher in Belgium 2012, in This Corner you Go with 300 kph
“F1 know how to do a race in the rain”
Spa 2021 flashbacks intensify
that pass on the outside at Eau Rogue, 180 mph, flat out, you gotta have the biggest balls on earth
Alonso on Massa and Webber in Brazil was class given the circumstances
This is why the F1 champion is called the World Drivers Champion. The best cars and (mostly) the best drivers. It is a very competitive environment, and only the best of the best flourish long term.
F1 is the pinnacle. Absolute precision and attention to detail is insane. From a technical point of view is amazing. This year's season is absolutely brilliant. Max and Hamilton going toe to toe. Both are amazing drivers.
SPA in one of the most iconic european track of all time, pretty much like Laguna seca in usa, his well known corner, eau rouge, might seems easy to do, but it's very daring, the compression felt while you reach the top is so high even the smallest mistaked can cause a serious, sometimes deadly, crash.
The fact that schumacher let kimi pass at the last moment is a clear sign of trust, and that's why this overtake is in this video.
Also check out alonso vs schumacher at 130R corner at suzuka!
Watch/listen to best of F1 team radio 2010-2019
The high cornering speeds is due to the high aerodynamic setups they run, these cars at certain circuits are setup to pull around 5-5.5Gs of lateral forces, that is approx 5-5.5x the weight of all the body parts and the car weight being transferred to one direction in a corner. Imagine having the tech to sustain that and the fitness required by the drivers! What a sport!
Videos like this makes me proud of the sport that means so much to me with its roller coaster of emotions from sheer joy to heartbreak and then all that gets ruined by fans on social media who think that shoving their opinion down your throat and trying to make your own opinion worthless. I love F1 but for the sake of the sport please JUST watch it and keep your opinions to yourself.
The open wheels don’t necessarily help F1 teams/cars go fast, but they have to account for how the wheels affect the aerodynamic effects. It has more to do with the front and rear wings - they produce a ton of downforce which gives the cars the grip to drive fast through corners. There’s also a lot of aerodynamic work behind the front wheels and in front of the side pods. 2022 is changing that formula and has a larger floor which creates a suction effect and sucks the car to the ground.
Black flag in F1 is a disqualification
Thought i would add that the cars can actually make a bit of contact. Wheel on wheel is the best scenario, usually doesn’t result in any issues (might not want to run them as long though) but if they hit any body work they could get a puncture, and unlike nascar, there isn’t much body work they can do other than changing the front wing, which is a whole unit that can be swapped on a pit stop
Nascar is like a sledgehammer. F1 is like a surgeon's scalpel.
They embrace two entirely different approaches to driving, as well as what the audience expects of- and gets out of them.
I'm European and can enjoy a Nascar race, if it's on late night TV. No problem, but it's a shallow cup to fill.
The big difference is how the drivers have to approach the two disciplines, physically.
You have to be in tip-top shape in order to drive an F1 car. The loads dictate it.
As an aside: Check out the sights and sounds of late 80s and early 90s Group C prototype racing.
Lovely video. Thanks!
That last overtake...they are going flat with over 190mph into that corner, and they still overtake each other
Open wheels create more drag so less top speed, they work on aerodynamics, the force of the air over the wings keeps them glued to the track so they can maneuver at like 6 to 8 gs around some corners
And the floor of the car.
The cars have very high tech wings which can make the air do many different things to help create down force and reduce drag. The front wing and the floor are two of the most important parts as they are the first things to hit the air and you want to utilize as much down the car as you can
4:25 - note that Kimi paused his F1 career and did two seasons in WRC, finished 10th both times and had a couple of event wins. He also did one race in NASCAR truck series finishing 15th.
In F1 they have different sets of tyres, hard, intermediate and soft, depending on the weather and the track they’re racing on, they also have wet weather tyres, which gives better grip, they also have practice sessions a couple of days before the race, which gives the pit crew the chance to fine tune the car to suit the driver, track conditions and most importantly weather conditions, I don’t know if they have a similar set up in NASCAR
Yes the open wheels allow for more traction and there used to be dual axis that allowed the front tires to turn independently
The wheels don’t have any covering over them as they need to get as much air to keep the brakes cool.
Those overtakes in Eau rouge are so cool... Only one lane and flat out, and if you touch, you're both out and probably dead.
At 7:09 when webber passes alonso is great especially considering that's a 200mph corner and you can't see the track going up it.
It just blows my mind that they’re pulling these moves at upwards of 200mph. Like their brains think years faster than us mortals. At that speed, they brake a millisecond too late from a straight into a turn, they’ll of missed their braking point by like 150 feet. So awesome.
An open wheeled designs keeps the cars body profile much smaller than a closed wheel car. This helps reduce the drag in front of the vehicle while also allowing mass flow of air to reach more aerodynamic surfaces above and underneath the car.
3:00, to answer your question, no, the open wheels actually make the cars slower, however the rules mandate the cars be open wheeled because it’s just part of the sport of F1, an F1 car wouldn’t be an F1 car if it wasn’t open wheeled
You need to see the Netflix clip of Romain Grosjean's fireball crash. I say Netflix version as it gives you an idea of how long it FELT it lasted versus how long it ACTUALLY lasted. As a huge fan and a person who watches as many races live as possible this moment felt like an eternity, this clip also plays the subsequent radio messages between garages team mates and other drivers as this all unfolded before our eyes live on TV. This guy is a hero, how he walked away from this is just a miracle, the panic I still feel watching it, thankfully he is OK. No longer in f1 but still with us today
You guys should definitely watch back this year's season so far and then watch the upcoming races, this season is turning out to be a banger. F1 cars are peak engineering and money to make the fastest road race cars in the world. Big, grippy tires, light weight, massive downforce and these things can make a mockery out of many corners that other cars have to slow down for. It has its problems, like inequality of performance as it's both an engineering and a driver skill competition, but it's fun for sure
4:43 I was just watching a driver 61 video and he mentions the difference between the length and wheel base of the Mercedes and Red Bull. The Red Bull has one of the shortest wheel bases on the grid making it one of the fastest in tight cornering sections and the Mercedes has one of the longest making it slow in the corners but ridiculously fast in a strait line.
explains that clip pretty well.
there are not so many overtakes as in nascar, but boy when one happens it's amazing
I get tingles watching webbers pass. Most dangerous corner on the calendar
Villeneuve and Arnoux at Dijon 1979 will still be the best overtakes battles of all time!!!!
salut Gilles!
5:07 ‘doing this for a while’
Verstappen was probably 18 or 19 at that time💀
3:10 yea they handle better with the open wheels because it helps balance the car gives it stability when they hit 5gs around a corner
There's a team and individual championship. Each team fields two cars. The drivers race to win driver's championship. The team adds up both cars' points for a team championship. This can often cause in-team conflicts. The constructor's championship is where all the money comes.
I think one of the best displays of speed of an F1 car is the on board pole lap from Mugello last year. Dudes pulling over 5gs in some corners
People around the world: Race Track.
People in america: Road Course.
You should watch Grosjean highspeed crash and battle between Hamilton and Verstappen. on the long straight they hit 320Kph (198mph). The slowest corner in Formula One (the Fairmont Hairpin, taken at just 48 km/h or 30 mph) and one of the quickest (the flat out kink in the tunnel, three turns beyond the hairpin, taken at 260 km/h or 160 mph)
That number one overtake: in that corner they are flat out!
